168. The UCMJ cannot be privileged above conscience.

Why would any non-reactionary EVER take an absolute "the law is the law" position? The law is not neutral and it will never treat the poor, the powerless, and the victims of brutality as equals with the rich, the powerful, and the brutalizers.

We have to retain the right to put conscience first...a law-first world will be a world of savagery.
